Paragraph 73
 

According to Article 953 of the draft, repeat voting is conducted in case the Constitutional Court declares the elections invalid. In some cases the invalidity of elections may be caused not only by violations on election day, but beforehand, such as following the misuse of administrative resources, inequalities in campaigning in public media, violations in the registration of candidates. Repeat voting is organised shortly after the invalid elections and with the same candidates. Thus, it may not be sufficient to address identified shortcomings. It is recommended that the law should address this issue.
